default no matter what because, as they say: unix gives you enough rope
to shoot yourself in the foot. These situations are much better handled
with a non-privileged user logging in and then using sudo or the gui
equivalent. So the root login thing doesn't really apply here.
I think a minimal "yukky" root desktop for maintenance is really the
right way to go: it discourages unsafe usage, and it is obvious that
you're there to fix something.
